Lincoln Woman Sentenced for Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine

United States Attorney Susan Lehr announced that Amanda Gayle Kuhn 33, of Lincoln, Nebraska, was sentenced on Friday, April 12, 2024, in federal court in Lincoln for possession with intent to distribute 5 grams or more of methamphetamine (actual) and 50 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing meth. Senior United States District Judge John M. Gerrard sentenced Kuhn to 84 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Kuhn’s release from prison, she will begin a 4-year term of supervised release.

On March 8, 2023, a search warrant was executed at the Lincoln residence of Kuhn.  During that search, investigators found four baggies of meth weighing a total of 65 grams.  Purity testing showed at least 58 grams of actual meth.  Investigators also found drug sales records and a digital scale.  Kuhn told investigators she and her husband sold meth, and they bought approximately ¼ ounce of meth per week from their source between January of 2023 and the time of the search.

This case was investigated by the Lincoln/Lancaster County Drug Task Force.
